THE TENT
When round Think not that Ruone,--all is over--farewell!
But go on your ways again, And forgetting your own petty loss, Reain
For, know that this world is a tent, And life but a dreaht, Till death plucks the curtain apart And awakens the sleeper with light
--_R H Stoddard, From the Persian_

FROM ”EVERY DAY CHRISTIAN LIFE”
Shall I tell you what a princess wrote--the Princess Aood Queen Victoria, and who after a long and painful sickness and trial died at an early age?--
”Unthinking, idle, wild, and young, I laughed and danced, I talked and sung, And proud of health, of freedom, vain, Dreamt not of sorrow, care, or pain
Oh! then, in those bright hours of glee, I thought the world was made for me
But when the hour of trial caay pursuits were o'er, And I could sing and dance no ht how sad 'twould be, Were only this world made for me”
--_F W Farrar, D D_

A man's quarrel with the world, is only a quarrel with himself

All y is reduced to this narrow compass--Jesus Christ came into this world to save sinners
--_A Alexander_
